Not long after I started blogging at Allison’s Well, the little voice that has permanent residence at the back of my brain started to talk to me . . . “Who do you think you are? You are so arrogant, you’re so deceived! You couldn’t find water if you were in the middle of the Atlantic…
A Black & White Valentine’s
It’s almost that time of year again . . . you all know what I’m talking about, so I won’t bother to elaborate . . . except to say that for all of those searching and hankering for a good movie to watch on Valentine’s Day, you’ve come to the right place! As many of you know, romance isn’t…
Book Release and VlCoPro, (Vlog/Cover/Promo)
The Reluctant Godfather is LIVE on Amazon! A lot of crazy, mixed up feelings right now. I’ve been dreaming about this moment for something like fifteen years….now that it’s finally here, I feel a little dazed! In honor this special occasion, I put together the video below, with the plan of uploading it to Youtube. For some peculiar…
January In A Nutshell
Ah, January – I had so many grand plans for you! What a beautiful, lovely, schedule I had worked up! I was raring to go, and then – of course – the unexpected happened, and life threw an obstacle my way. I got sick…for the first week and a half of January I did little else but…
My Favorite Reads of January
Due to an unforeseen sickness, I read a LOT more than I usually do in a single month. Admittedly, I read a lot of short stories and children’s books, but I NEARLY read a book for every day of the month! I wish that I could do this EVERY month; but I can’t. My writing and the rest…
Tag – You’re It!
Thank you Shantelle Hannu – I was at my wits end trying to find inspiration for a new post, not to mention I was struggling with finding the time to write one. But thanks to Shantelle’s post ‘The Ten Random Questions Tag‘ in which she graciously extended the tag invitation to anyone that read her post, I was…
A Taste of Africa
What gets you started in the morning? Most of us would probably say a big cup of coffee (or as my sister calls it—starter fluid). Regrettably, I cannot often say I start my morning with coffee. While I love a good frappe or latte, I cannot tolerate a lot of milk – any kind of milk – so my…
Thrills and Chills
I don’t know about you guys, but January can be a little ‘blah’ for me. The holidays are over, it’s back to the old grindstone, and the weather is dreary and cold. Because of this, I like to do something special and out of the ordinary in January. Organize a family outing, read a new book… But usually…
Hear me sing ‘It’s A Marshmallow World’…even though I don’t even like marshmallows.
Yup, it’s true. I do not like marshmallows, I never did. In the rare occasions that we would have cook outs I would eat a couple for solidarity’s sake. I’m not saying I absolutely loath them…but I’m indifferent to them and do not actively seek out this tasting experience. However…I do like this song. For years I would…
Bubbly Grape Juice, Good Intentions and God’s Will
2016 is almost over! It’s that time of year again! Time for all those well meaning but utterly insane resolutions that are probably induced by drinking too much bubby grape juice. So allow me to provide my list of insane goals…in no particular order…. Create A Better Newsletter For My Blog: The one I sent out this month was….really…
